Yev from Backblaze here -> we've updated the post to make it more clear. This will ONLY affect about 5% of the Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage population with < 10TB of data. See below for additional information:

-> This policy is limited to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage usage. Backblaze Computer Backup usage is not within the scope of this policy.

-> Customers storing 10TB or below will initially be provisioned for uploads up to 3,000 requests per minute and 800 megabits per second, and for downloads up to 1,200 requests per minute and 200 megabits per second, all per account. Other API operations may also be limited to keep traffic flowing, but again, this won’t be noticeable to most customers.

-> Customers storing more than 10TB, including all sales assisted customers whom we’ve supported during implementation and/or renewal, will experience no change at this time.

-> Traffic analysis and engineering is a dynamic activity, so we’ll likely revise limits over time in response to evolving usage patterns, improvements we roll out, and, of course, customer feedback. We will announce significant changes here on the blog.

Hope that clears things up and we have additional documentation on our API Documentation pages: https://www.backblaze.com/apidocs.
